Need recommendation for a good scale that measures BF %
Does anyone have a good WiFi scale that measure bodyfat % that you recommend? I'm trying to help my aunt find a good scale. She tried the Fitbit ARIA (three times!) but each time it just displayed an error message and she had to send it back. :( We were looking at the Withings Smart Body Analyzer, but we didn't buy it…

how to calculate C25K calories?
I'm new to the C25K program and I am struggling to figure out how to calculate my calories when I do a C25K workout. I am ordering a HRM, but in the meantime I still need to figure out my burn.

trouble with form for 5x5 squat
I haven't been able to start SL 5x5 yet because I've been too busy with work/school and I'm still trying to buy/set up the equipment that I need at home. But I'm impatient to get started so I have started trying to do the routines without any weights to just work on the form. I hope to get a 45-pound barbell soon and use…

Off my diabetes meds altogether!
As of my doctor appointment last night, I'm now off metformin totally! Yay! My last two A1C readings were both 5.4, so I seem to be stable in the normal range. I posted a topic recently about getting my diabetes under control (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/895996-i-think-i-ve-conquered-my-type-2-diabetes) and I…

I think I've conquered my Type 2 diabetes.... :)
Hi everyone, I just have to share a cool victory for me. Tonight I ate a huge dinner. When I put it in my food diary, I was shocked by how many carbs/calories. I usually have a dinner between 300-400 calories. This was 800. And I usually keep my dinner carbs below 60 grams net carbs. This was 94 grams, 82 net carbs. So I…
